Media notes
Camera kept focusing on one of the leaves the bird was partly behind rather than the bird but some field marks can be seen in some of these photos
Observation details
First heard the repeated "whit" notes & thought they sounded like a possible Least Flycatcher, so I started recording the call notes as I tried to locate the bird. Eventually it flew more into the open into one the pecan trees in the front yard & I got a brief but good look at the bird. A few minutes later I saw it again & watched it for a short time in the open as it flitted from branch to branch. It was a very small flycatcher with a small pale bill. It had a prominent white eye-ring, back was grayish with hint of olive, wings darker with two white wingbars, underparts mostly white looking. Primaries did not extend as far as on an Acadian, & notes not that of a Willow in my opinion & bill too small for a Willow Flycatcher. Will add a poor recording of the whit notes & very poor photos of bird mostly hidden by leaves or branches that I took later in morning when Terry Schiefer came to look at the bird.
